I've written a perl script that takes as input a file with syslog I use this for test environments, especially when I'm testing things results when parsed by logsurfer.
My tool does two things logger doesn't - (1) it trims off the existing timestamps from the input before logging it, and more interestingly, (2) can parse those timestamps and replay the log messages at the same rate that they were originally logged. Or you can tell it to "time warp" and play the messages back 2x 3x, 1/5x as fast, etc. This is why it's good for testing logsurfer files, since you can test whether your timeouts work. ... I'd like to include this script in the syslog-ng tarball within the contrib directory if you don't mind, though you should add a copyright and license header to the beginning of the file. (I know it is at the end of the documentation but that's not visible enough)
Done. I also updated the bugs list with the caveats mentioned in the previous message. See attached.
